NOVA AIMS AT
BOUT WITH LOUIS
JOE LOUIS won't be without an opponent next year. Not accord-.
ing to Lou Nova.
A-sedimentation test showed 55 per cent, when Nova was taken ill shortly after he was badly thumped and stopped by Tony Galento. last fall.
Doctors advised him he was sick for three years, which means: he fought his way to within one rung of a shot at the champion- ship while not nearly normal.
"If I could beat Gunnar Barlund, Tommy Farr and Max Baer, while I was sick, what will I do now that I have my health:?" beams the collegian.
The same sedimentation test now shows 3 per cent., which- means the poison has completely disappeared from his system.
Nova, who frankly admits he fights only because boxing provides the quickest way he knows for making money, can't see that cae defeat means oblivion.
If it did, he points out, Joe Louis. Baer, Billy Conn, Henry. Armstrong and practically every headliner now active would be through, too.

NMAX BAER'S crack: "Nova doesn't rate any more, so why should
I bother about him?" raises Nova's irc.
Nova cut up and stopped Baer last summer, and insists the erst- while Butterfly Butcher Boy knows he can do it again.
For the purpose of challenging the winner, Nova plans to attend the Baer-Louls affair in September, if the match is made, “and Ancil Hoffman can induce Baer to climb through the ropes.
"I can challenge the winner right now,” adds Nova, “for 127 guess is that Louis will either stiffen Baer of make him take It' on one knee again in the second round."

get in two or three warm-up fights in California before seriously launching his comeback drive in the east.
Nova professes to believe he can repel Louis, and won't be afraid to take a punch at the champion.
He was too game, If anything. Taking unnecessary chances was his biggest-fault-up-to-und-through the Galento party.
If Lou Nova fights nearly as well as he talks, owhalf as well as he says he feels, he'll be knocking at Joe Louis' door next summer.
